Why do all the new TVs expect me to have a platform AS WIDE as the fucking thing?? Fucking shit!! God awful absolutely dumb thoughtless design choice

luckily this is just a 32; i had a 70 from the same brand with the same INSANELY FUCKING STUPID STAND DESIGN that i had to find something for....literally at the most extreme edges of the thing, what the fuck is this? this is so fucking stupid, it cannot be meaningfully cheaper than a proper design and it looks fucking dumb as hell and surely this has pissed off 90% of people that wanted a TV and want to put it on a little stand like a normal fucking person right??

No surprise, a wide screen tv from the late 90s was big enough to house 2 gaint speakers and a subwoofer.

And took up half your room, and weighed 800 lbs, no thanks.

My dad's place still has a gigantic plasma TV from 2000 that takes up maybe 1/3rd of the room it's in. Great picture, great sound. Completely impractical.

Those sony Trinitrons sounded so damn good, you could hook up two rca's to the AV jack and use the tv as an reasonably good speaker
